Cruxrhodopsin-3 (cR3), a retinylidene protein found in the claret membrane of Haloarcula vallismortis, functions as a light-driven proton pump. In this study, the membrane fusion method was applied to crystallize cR3 into a crystal belonging to space group P321. Diffraction data at 2.1 Å resolution show that cR3 forms a trimeric assembly with bacterioruberin bound to the crevice between neighbo...
The ability of certain pathogens to exploit innate immune function allows them to undermine immune clearance and thereby increase their persistence and capacity to cause disease. Porphyromonas gingivalis is a major pathogen in periodontal disease and is associated with increased risk of systemic conditions. We have previously shown that the fimbriae of P. gingivalis interact with complement rec...
Phagocytosis of Borrelia burgdorferi, the causative agent of Lyme disease, is a poorly understood process, despite its importance during the host immune response to infection. B. burgdorferi has been shown to bind to different receptors on the surface of phagocytic cells, including the β(2) integrin, complement receptor 3 (CR3). However, whether these receptors mediate the phagocytosis of the s...
Porphyromonas gingivalis is a major oral pathogen associated with periodontal disease. In this paper, we review the mechanism whereby this organism induces a proadhesive signaling pathway for activation of complement receptor 3 (CR3; CD11b/CD18) and discuss its biological significance on the basis of published findings by our lab and other investigators. The proadhesive pathway is initiated whe...
Phagocyte and NK cell CR3 functions as both an adhesion molecule and an iC3b receptor mediating cytotoxic responses to microorganisms. Cytotoxic activation of iC3b receptor function requires ligation of both a CD11b I-domain site for iC3b and a lectin site located in the C-terminus of CD11b. Because tumours lack the CR3-binding polysaccharides of bacteria and fungi, iC3b-opsonized tumours do no...
Two types of opsonic phagocytosis have been defined depending on the receptor engaged: FcgammaRs mediate type I phagocytosis of IgG-coated particles; complement receptor 3 (CR3) mediates type II phagocytosis of complement-coated particles. In addition to opsonic phagocytosis, CR3 also mediates nonopsonic phagocytosis of zymosan (Z) and Mycobacterium kansasii through engagement of distinct sites...
A CrAPO-5 molecular sieve has been investigated with X-ray absorption spectroscopy (EXAFS-XANES) as dehydrated material and after loading with water and ammonia to unravel the coordination geometries of Cr3+ in the framework of a microporous crystalline aluminophosphate, more particularly of the AFI-type. A comparison of the XANES data, a preedge analysis with crystal field multiplet calculatio...
In dengue virus (DENV) infection, complement system (CS) activation appears to have protective and pathogenic effects. In severe dengue fever (DF), the levels of DENV non-structural-1 protein and of the products of complement activation, including C3a, C5a and SC5b-9, are higher before vascular leakage occurs, supporting the hypothesis that complement activation contributes to unfavourable outc...
We have previously demonstrated that the αMβ2 integrin (known as CR3 or Mac-1) expressed on neutrophils (PMNs) and/or on CHO Mac-1 transfected cells,in the presence of serum complement binds B. burgdorferi and promotes an increased non -opsonic adhesion, in the presence of serum complement. In this study we demonstrate that: 1) living motile B. burgdorferi and recombinant lipidated OspA and Osp...
Myelotoxic injury in the bone marrow (BM) as a consequence of total body irradiation (TBI) or granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) mobilization results in the deposition of iC3b on BM stroma (stroma-iC3b). In the present study, we have examined how stroma-iC3b interacts with hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPCs) and the role of complement (C) and complement receptor 3 (CR3) in BM injur...
